Mount Etna and Stromboli spew lava and ash as Italian volcanos dramatically erupt

Two Italian volcanoes have dramatically erupted, spewing lava and ash clouds which closed a nearby airport. Mount Etna, on the island of Sicily, and Stromboli, just off the north coast of the island, began erupting the first week in July. Catania airport, the main airport on Sicily, was closed as a precaution due to the ash cloud from Etna, which showered the city of the same name in black dust. Meanwhile hundreds of firefighters were rushed to Stromboli as lava tumbled from the volcano into the sea.
Evacuation plans have been prepared for the tiny island - population 500 - in case the situation worsens. Italy has four active volcanoes, with Mount Vesuvius and Volcano, near Stromboli, being the other two. Etna and Stromboli are both in a state of continuous eruption but lava and smoke is not always visible. Vesuvius last erupted in 1944 and was the last volcano to erupt in continental Europe, while Volcano last erupted in the late 19th century. #volcano #Etna #mountetna

It's Campii Flegrei that has me concerned. Between the earthquake swarms and some scientists commenting that people should have been evacuated in March has caught my attention.

There is nothing new, but still a spectacular sight. Volcanoes have been erupting for thousands of years. I hope everyone stays safe.

[@DaisyAnnabelle65]

Wow! The earth is ever changing!

[@afsoccommando]

Wow, I remember climbing Mt Etna back in 96. Hot as the dickens looking into it.... Can't imagine being up there and that happening!

[@emanuele616]

What about the others italian active volcanoes? In Italy there are 10 active volcanoes: 8 terrestrials and 2 submarines.

Wonder how many cars and truck is would take to generate that much atmospheric contamination with greenhouse gasses.

This may sound stupid. But what do they think the firefighters will do? You cannot put out a volcano. Or have things vastly changed in firefighting? Or are they having the firefighters on standby in case some lava spews onto a house? But I'm thinking if a volcano is erupting probably alot of houses will be destroyed & it cannot be fought

Campi Flegrei is supervolcano, like Yellowstone. Very very dangerous, but today its activity is limited to the phenomenon of bradyseism. Fortunately it is quiescent like Vesuvius....

Im here to fight dajjaal where can i find him? 😂

[@ivankahizar1630]

It is funny, in the same time both of them???

[@crazybirdblonde]

So cool👍

[@bryanjones7126]

Huh. What's the "fine" for excess CO2 production gonna be? I think this might negate all the climate change efforts of mankind for the next few years.

[@EternalEyeofRa]

You should see Mount Etna right now. The lava fountains are even taller than the other night.

'FROM THE VOLCANO INTO THE SEA' almost sounds like a chant some protesters would make ha ha ha

[@douglasbanks3318]

How dare you ,where's Greta and her protesters?

[@tehilasunshine9757]

Omg, call Bill gates!

[@miraa1887]

I feel bad for the Fish , hope people are fine too

[@emanuele616]

Campi Flegrei, Vesuvius and Ischia. They aren't connected.
